With just under a month to go, I asked God what her son wanted for his birthday. She said that, living in Heaven, there really wasn’t much that he needed. In fact there was nothing he needed, so I’d need to work on something that he wanted but couldn’t get for himself.

Now, of course, his wish list has things like “peace on Earth,” but that’s not exactly something that I can deliver on my own. So what do you get for the deity that has everything?

Nothing.

That’s right, nothing. I’m going to give him a little time off. I’ll go a day without praying. And a day without doing anything that might upset him. I’ll make it sort of like that one Father’s day where all I did was give Dad a day of peace and quiet. Maybe you could join me, at least in spirit.

Oh, and if any of you can figure out how to give Jesus breakfast in bed, let me know.
